(Worthy Satire) – In a bold effort to blame Donald Trump for the price of eggs, the Democratic National Committee released a chart on social media this week showing grocery prices skyrocketing—but only after Joe Biden took office. The post was quickly deleted once someone on staff remembered how graphs work.
The chart, which looked suspiciously like a ski slope headed toward bankruptcy, attempted to illustrate the “Trump effect” on the economy. Unfortunately for the DNC, it instead served as a real-time math lesson: the prices didn’t spike until January 2021. You know, the same month Biden was sworn in.
Within minutes of the post going viral, DNC operatives scrambled like overpriced cage-free eggs to delete it, issuing a statement that read, “We regret the error and promise to go back to using charts that don’t have numbers.”
DNC officials tried to clarify the confusion, stating, “While prices may have rose under President Biden, they’re emotionally lower when you factor in good vibes, equity, and sustainable tofu production.”
Critics on social media were unforgiving. “Next time just post a cartoon of Trump juggling grocery bags labeled ‘misinformation’ and call it a day,” one user quipped.
Meanwhile, grocery stores are reporting a new economic indicator called the “Biden Basket”: one loaf of bread, almond milk, and a stick of butter… totaling $94.22 plus tax.
